Duty Rate (from China)
Products classified under Tariff item 1513.29.10
Bleached Palm Kernel Oil
Bleached palm kernel oil is refined palm kernel oil treated with bleaching earth to remove color pigments and impurities, a physical process that does not chemically modify the oil. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when it is specifically intended for use in the manufacture of margarine and shortening, as the bleaching step is part of the refining process for such food applications.
Degummed Palm Kernel Oil
Degummed palm kernel oil has gums and phospholipids removed via hydration or acid treatment, a refining step that does not chemically alter the oil's triglyceride structure. It qualifies under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the refined oil is specifically for use in margarine and shortening manufacturing, as degumming is a standard pre-treatment for such food products.
Deodorized Palm Kernel Oil
Deodorized palm kernel oil is refined by steam stripping to remove odors and volatile compounds, a physical refining step that does not chemically modify the oil. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the deodorized oil is specifically intended for use in margarine and shortening, as deodorization is a final refining stage for these products.
Food-Grade Palm Kernel Oil
Food-grade palm kernel oil is refined palm kernel oil meeting strict purity standards for direct food use, including baking and confectionery. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the oil is specifically for use in margarine and shortening production, as food-grade quality is a prerequisite for these applications.
Neutralized Palm Kernel Oil
Neutralized palm kernel oil is refined by alkali treatment to remove free fatty acids, a standard refining step that does not chemically modify the oil's glyceride structure. It qualifies under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the neutralized oil is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as neutralization is a common pre-treatment for these products.
Organic Palm Kernel Oil
Organic palm kernel oil is certified organic refined palm kernel oil from sustainable sources, processed without chemical modification. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the organic oil is specifically intended for use in margarine and shortening, as organic certification does not alter the tariff classification based on end use.
Palm Kernel Mid-Fraction
Palm kernel mid-fraction is an intermediate solid/liquid fraction from palm kernel oil, obtained by physical fractionation without chemical modification. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the mid-fraction is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as such fractions are often used to achieve desired texture in these products.
Palm Kernel Olein Fraction
Palm kernel olein fraction is the liquid fraction from fractionating refined palm kernel oil, consisting of lower-melting triglycerides, obtained by physical means. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the olein is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as liquid fractions are often blended into these products for consistency.
Palm Kernel Stearin Fraction
Palm kernel stearin fraction is the solid fraction from palm kernel oil fractionation, used in shortenings and confectionery fats, obtained without chemical modification. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the stearin is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as solid fractions provide structure in these products.
Palm Kernel Super Olein
Palm kernel super olein is a highly fractionated liquid fraction from palm kernel oil with very low solids content, obtained by physical fractionation. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the super olein is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as its low melting profile is useful in soft margarine formulations.
Refined Palm Kernel Oil
Refined palm kernel oil has undergone degumming, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization to remove impurities, all physical processes that do not chemically modify the oil. It falls under tariff item 1513.29.10 when the refined oil is specifically for use in margarine and shortening, as these refining steps are standard for such food applications.
